emitLlmArtifacts previously emitted ArtifactCreated/Validating/Validated for every
llm-emitted slot unconditionally, fabricating "validated" artifacts when the model
produced no content. Gate now mirrors the F-015 file_written check: slots with null
or blank cached content are skipped with a warn log. Regression test added in
NeedsArtifactInjectionTest verifies no artifact events appear for a blank-response stage.
[router.narration] model_id selects which provider handles narration turns
instead of generic capability routing — lets a small/fast model own narration
while the main model keeps CHAT/STEERING.
- NarrationSettings.modelId parsed from TOML, threaded via RouterConfig
.narrationModelId into DefaultRouterFacade.narrate (3-arg route)
- DefaultInferenceRouter: exact-id match against healthy providers, with a
post-select health check; any miss logs WARN and falls back to capability
routing (never fails the narration turn)
- onUserInput unchanged — only narrate uses the pinned model (tested)
Follow-ups spotted while fixing the artifact-content bug:
- #1 robustness: listArtifacts resolves content via runCatching, degrading to null
instead of failing the whole listing on one bad CAS read (resolveContent helper)
- #2 eviction visibility: WARN when a referenced artifact hash resolves to null
(most likely evicted/compacted while still referenced by the event log)
- #3 ordering trap: document on ArtifactCreated/ArtifactContentStored that 'Created'
fires at validation, AFTER ContentStored at inference — the latent fold hazard
- #4 reopen gap: SessionSnapshot now carries workspaceRoot (derived from
SessionWorkspaceBound), so a reopened session restores its workspace label
- #5 orchestrator headroom: isBackEdge externalised to a top-level function so
DefaultSessionOrchestrator drops below the TooManyFunctions threshold (was at it)
#6 (orphaned empty F-010-era artifacts) needs no code change — empty content is
already normalised to null ('(no content stored)'); emission is prevented going
forward by the shipped F-010/F-018/F-020 fixes.
Implements the replay-safe half of preemptive redirect (graph re-routing). An
operator-confirmed PreemptRedirectEvent overrides the resolver's edge at the next
transition boundary; the pure resolver stays untouched.
- PreemptRedirectEvent / PreemptRedirectBlockedEvent (+ serialization registration)
- TransitionExecutedEvent + TransitionDecision.Move gain optional redirectId — the
durable 'consumed once' marker
- PreemptRedirect.decide: pure decision over the event log (override / block / none),
so replay reaches the identical outcome without re-classifying (invariant #8)
- override wired in DefaultSessionOrchestrator.step above resolveTransition; back-edge
jumps count against the existing maxRetries cap via executeMove
- blocks jumps to unknown stages or targets with unsatisfied needs
- DomainEventMapper: redirect events mapped to null (operator surface ships with the
LLM-proposal + approval-confirm front-half)
- tests: override+consume-once, block-on-needs, block-on-unknown, ignore-consumed
Front-half (LLM proposal -> approval-gate confirm -> emit PreemptRedirectEvent) is
deferred; needs live LLM verification. Until it ships no redirect event is emitted in
production, so the override is inert. Spec: docs/plans/2026-06-10-freestyle-graph-rerouting.md
- generic SystemResourceProbe: owner-agnostic /proc/meminfo system RAM
overlaid on the vendor GPU probe, wired on both managed and static paths
so the VRAM/GPU/RAM gauge renders with an external llama-server (was dormant)
- F-002: classify provider 4xx (e.g. llama.cpp 400) as terminal, not retryable
(except 408/429); stops retrying deterministic request failures to exhaustion
- F-003: FileSystemPromptLoader expands leading ~ / ~/ to user home
- F-004: map InferenceFailedEvent + RetryAttemptedEvent to new
ServerMessage.InferenceFailed / RetryAttempted, decoded+rendered in tui-go;
ArtifactContentStoredEvent explicitly mapped to null (internal, no warn)
- tests: tilde expansion, SystemResourceProbe (static/managed/fail-soft)
Two operator features over the existing WebSocket protocol, plus a tui-go nav fix.
Config editor (g / palette "config"):
- core:config gains a thin registry stack: OrchestrationKnobs ([orchestration]
block), CorrexConfigWriter (round-trip TOML serializer; parseToml(write(c))==c),
ConfigHolder (AtomicReference live config), and EditableConfig (allowlist of
editable fields + patch applier; security fields are absent so they can never
be patched).
- ConfigService validates -> persists (atomic temp+move) -> swaps the holder ->
rebuilds config-derived services. Live-apply is scoped to safe seams: stage
timeout, compaction threshold (now a supplier), router knobs (routerFacade
rebuild), and personalization/project toggles all take effect on the next
session/turn; in-flight sessions keep the config they started with.
server.host/port are persisted + badged "restart required", not hot-swapped.
- Protocol: GetConfig / UpdateConfig / ConfigSnapshot; TUI overlay with
type-aware editing (bool toggle, enum cycle, inline int/string edit) and save.
Artifact viewer (v / palette "artifacts"):
- Server assembles a session's artifacts from the event log and resolves bytes
from the CAS store (StreamQueries.listArtifacts) — a replay-neutral snapshot
read. TUI overlay lists artifacts and shows scrollable content.
tui-go fix: workflow failure no longer clears selectedID (which yanked the user
to the list); listNav lands on the first session when nothing is selected
instead of wrapping to a random one.
Config is not event-sourced (it lives in TOML); editing stays outside the log.
rehydrate() now scans ArtifactContentStoredEvent (the durable slot->CAS-hash
bridge) and fetches stored bytes by content hash, keying the cache by the
logical slot name. The slot name is never passed to the hash-keyed CAS, so the
odd-length-hex crash is gone and artifact content is restored on cold-start
resume. RehydrateTest reworked to use a content-addressed fake store (slot name
!= content hash) so it actually exercises the bug. Replay (#8) is unaffected —
rehydrate is live-resume-only.
Also bump router narration maxTokens 1024 -> 4096: reasoning models were
spending the whole budget thinking and emitting empty content (finishReason=
length), so narrations never reached the TUI.
Removes the stale TUI-refactor progress doc.
Live QA audit of role_pipeline against a sample repo surfaced and fixed a
chain of defects that prevented any tool+artifact workflow from running
end-to-end. The pipeline now completes cleanly with a real, validated,
reviewed file change.
- F-008 workflow: propagate stage token_budget -> generationConfig.maxTokens
(TomlWorkflowLoader) so large stages stop truncating at the 2048 default.
- F-009 tools/kernel: file_read missing-file is recoverable; recoverable tool
errors feed back into the loop instead of aborting the stage.
- F-010/F-018 kernel: reject premature stage_complete and nudge the model to
emit the owed artifact / invoke a write tool (bounded by MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS).
- F-011 schemas: list-typed artifact fields string -> array (analysis/design/
impl_plan) to match model output.
- F-012 kernel: strip an outer markdown code fence from LLM artifacts.
- F-013 validation: payload-validation failures are retryable; structural
failures stay terminal (wires the invariant-#7 reject+retry contract).
- F-014 tools: file_edit schema matches its real params; edits emit a diff.
- F-015 kernel: record tool-execution events + materialise a real file_written
artifact from the on-disk write; gate validation so a no-write stage cannot
be rubber-stamped (no more false-success runs).
- F-016 server: raise stageTimeoutMs 60s -> 180s for slow local models.
- F-019 artifacts/kernel: file_written artifact carries the unified diff so the
reviewer can verify the change (shared DiffUtil; file_write emits a diff too).
- F-020 tools: model-correctable file_edit failures are recoverable + steer
toward replace/file_write over the fragile patch op.
Full findings register (F-001..F-021, incl. open F-021 resume rehydrate bug)
in qa/audit-report-2026-06-08.md. All module tests green.
ArtifactPayloadValidator passed the logical slot name into the
content-hash-keyed CAS store, crashing every workflow with a typed
produces slot. Validator now reads payloads from a content map threaded
through ValidationContext (populated from the orchestrator's per-session
artifact cache across all stages) and no longer depends on ArtifactStore.
Also records the slot->CAS-hash mapping as a new ArtifactContentStoredEvent
(registered for serialization), emitted at both CAS write sites, so
artifact content is recoverable from CAS by hash after a cold start.
Records operator profile as a snapshot event at session start (invariants #8/#9),
populates SessionState.boundProfile via reducer, and injects the about text as a
pinned L0 SYSTEM context entry in every stage. Gated by PersonalizationConfig.enabled.
Add docs/schemas/execution_plan.json (goal/stages/edges), the
architect_freestyle prompt that instructs emitting the execution pipeline as
JSON, and register the execution_plan llm-emitted kind in both
artifacts.config.toml and sample-config.toml. Validated via
ExecutionPlanSchemaValidationTest (minimal plan passes; missing stages rejected).
Extract a SubagentRunner fun-interface (SubagentRunRequest/SubagentRunResult)
and an InSessionSubagentRunner default that delegates to the existing
executeStage path, with per-run effectives captured in the lambda closure so
the seam stays free of the internal RunEffectives type.
DefaultSessionOrchestrator.enterStage now dispatches through subagentRunner.run
instead of calling executeStage inline; effectives threading is dropped from
run/step/executeMove/enterStage/resume. ReplayOrchestrator supplies its own
runner. Behaviour is identical — RefinementLoopTest and full check stay green.
Stages declaring needs=[...] now receive each needed artifact's validated
JSON (from artifactContentCache) as an L1/USER neededArtifact context entry,
so a one-shot subagent sees its inputs.
Also emit llm-emitted artifact lifecycle events (Created/Validating/Validated)
on successful validation via emitLlmArtifacts, closing a latent gap where
verifyProduces would fail for stages producing only an llm-emitted artifact.
Events are emitted only after validation passes, preserving invariant #7.
The router/narration model behaviour was hardcoded (Main built RouterConfig()
with defaults). Surface it under the [router] section so it's tunable without a
rebuild:
[router] conversation_keep_last, retrieval_k, token_budget
[router.generation] temperature, top_p, max_tokens (chat/steering)
[router.narration] temperature, top_p, max_tokens, max_per_run
ConfigLoader parses the new sections (adds asDouble); Main maps the config-layer
RouterConfig onto the domain RouterConfig and threads narration.max_per_run into
ServerModule. All values default to the previous constants, so behaviour is
unchanged when the sections are absent. Documents the block in sample-config.toml
and adds parser tests for present/absent cases.
Live QA showed two problems with paused-approval narration:
- The narrator was told to "name the stage, outcome, and reason" but the pause
trigger only carried "APPROVAL_PENDING" with no detail — on a first-stage pause
there's no L2 history either, so it had nothing to ground on. NarrationSubscriber
now captures the latest ApprovalRequestedEvent per session (tool name, tier,
preview) and folds it into the pause instruction (preview truncated to 800
chars).
- Narration reused the 512-token chat generation config; a reasoning model spent
the whole budget "thinking" and returned empty content (finishReason=length).
Add a separate narrationGenerationConfig (maxTokens=1024) so thinking can
complete and still leave room for the one or two sentences.
Adds a subscriber test asserting the pause narration names the tool and includes
the preview.
Replace the placeholder "You are a routing assistant" one-liner with two
purpose-written prompts: a conversational prompt that frames the router as
correx's operator-facing interface to the event-sourced engine (grounded in
workflow state, no fabrication, concise, steering-aware), and a dedicated
narrator prompt for buildNarrationContext that asks for one or two present-tense
sentences naming the stage and outcome.
The longer protected frame shifted token budgets, so the two L2 eviction tests
now size their budget from the measured protected-frame + per-entry cost instead
of hard-coded magic numbers, making them robust to prompt length.
Two issues surfaced during live QA once workflows began progressing past the
first stage:
1. Narration prompts went out with no user message, so the chat template
rejected them ("No user query found in messages"). buildNarrationContext
filed the trigger instruction (a user turn) under ContextLayer.L0, and
PromptRenderer folds every L0 entry into the system message regardless of
role. Move the trigger to L1 so it renders as the user turn.
2. TransitionExecutedEvent was emitted after the next stage had already run:
executeMove called enterStage (which executes the stage) before advanceStage
(which emits the transition), so the event log showed a stage running before
the event marking entry into it. Emit the transition before entering.
Adds a regression test asserting a rendered narration prompt carries a user
message.
Tool-calling loops were rendered as all-assistant-calls-then-all-tool-results
with the original task last, causing the model to re-issue the same tool call
indefinitely. Two stacked reorderings caused it:
- DefaultContextPackBuilder grouped entries by sourceType for per-type
compression, discarding a,t,a,t interleaving.
- PromptRenderer forced L1 (the live user turn) to render last, pushing the
task after the entire transcript.
- SessionOrchestrator's tool loop re-fed currentContext.layers.values.flatten()
(grouped by layer) each round, compounding the scramble.
Add a chronological `ordinal` to ContextEntry, stamped by the builder from
input order and restored after grouping/compression (the compressor preserves
entry identity, so ordinals survive). PromptRenderer now orders non-system
messages by ordinal, with the old L1-last layer priority kept only as a
tiebreak so router chat (ordinal 0) is unchanged. The orchestrator keeps a
running ordered accumulator instead of reading back the grouped pack.
Adds builder + renderer ordering regression tests.
- Add NarrationTrigger(kind, instruction) model to core:router
- Add RouterContextBuilder.buildNarrationContext: minimal ContextPack
(system + workflow status + L2 + trigger instruction); excludes
conversationHistory and L3 recalled memory
- Add RouterFacade.narrate: emits RouterNarrationEvent with content,
latencyMs, tokensUsed; skips event on blank inference; never writes
ChatTurnEvent or l3MemoryStore.store
- Add RouterNarrationTest covering all acceptance criteria
- Add narrate default to RouterContextBuilder interface so existing
anonymous test stubs compile without a stub override
ChatTurnEvent gains nullable latencyMs and tokensUsed fields (defaults preserve
backward-compat; legacy JSON without them deserializes cleanly). emitChatTurn
accepts optional metrics; the ROUTER emit site passes inferenceResponse values
through; the USER emit site leaves both null.
Wires the workspace handshake end to end so a session's workspace is bound
from the client's cwd at connect time and is event-sourced for replay.
- Go TUI sends Hello{workingDir=os.Getwd()} as the first WS frame on connect
(protocol.go encoder + client.go connect path; golden test pins the wire
format against the Kotlin discriminator).
- Server adds ClientMessage.Hello, stashes the per-connection workingDir, and
on session start resolves it through WorkspaceResolver's trust pipeline,
emits SessionWorkspaceBoundEvent (invariant #9), and threads the resolved
workspace into OrchestrationConfig for the live run. A Hello after the first
StartSession is ignored (warn); a rejected path binds the resolver fallback.
- Replay derives the workspace from the recorded event: SessionState gains
boundWorkspace, DefaultSessionReducer fills it from SessionWorkspaceBoundEvent,
and ReplayOrchestrator uses it (Path.of only, no filesystem re-query —
invariant #8) with graceful fallback to config for pre-Phase-B logs.
Absent Hello / null resolver degrades to the prior config-workspace behavior.
A stage's allowedTools only shaped which tool definitions were offered to
the model; the dispatch path resolved returned tool calls straight from the
full registry and executed them without checking stage membership. A
hallucinated, jailbroken, or edited-transcript tool call for any registered
tool would run unchecked (violating invariant #5 / policy-is-absolute).
dispatchToolCalls now rejects any tool call whose name is not in the stage's
allowedTools (STAGE_COMPLETE_TOOL exempt), emitting ToolExecutionRejectedEvent
and feeding an error ContextEntry back to the model instead of executing.
Empty allowedTools means deny-all domain tools, consistent with offering
only STAGE_COMPLETE_TOOL at inference time.
A steering note attached to a tool approval was recorded but only
consumed by the NEXT stage's prompt build (buildSteeringNoteEntries runs
once, before the tool loop), so on a single-stage task it had no visible
effect. Two changes:
- Approve+note: capture userDecision.userSteering at the gate and inject
it as a context entry right after the tool result, so the same stage's
loop re-infers with the note and the model acts on it.
- Reject: buildSteeringNoteEntries now also emits anti-repeat feedback for
REJECTED decisions with no note, so the model does not re-propose the
identical call on the retryable re-run (a bare reject previously fed
back only "approval denied").
Integration test drives an approval with a steering note and asserts the
next inference's context carries it.
Compute the effective tool registry/executor and plane-2 WorkspacePolicy per run
from config.workspace (effectivesFor), threaded through the orchestrators; a null
workspace falls back to the boot instances byte-for-byte. Wire the concrete
WorkspaceToolRegistryProvider in Main (buildToolConfigForWorkspace). Session undo
unions the session's recorded workspace into its jail roots. (Axis 2 Phase A, tasks 3 + 7.)
Resolve a client-supplied workspace dir safely: canonicalize via toRealPath,
reject privileged locations, clamp to [tools] allowed_workspace_roots (permissive
when unset, logged), fall back to the boot default on any rejection. PathJail made
non-internal so the server can reuse its symlink-safe containment. (Axis 2 Phase A, task 4.)
